What software is best for converting dvd's etc for ipods

bredred · Post by **bredred** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:43 pm

I bought ipod touch's for my two kids but would like to be able to transfer dvd's and other files to the format required in order that i can then add it the itunes library and from there load it onto their ipods.

There seems to be hundreds of software applications for doing this and so i just wanted to ask what others are using and what is recommended.

Thanks!!

I like the SlySoft range of products. You'll probably need to use AnyDVD http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html and CloneDVD Moblie http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonedvd-mobile.html They're both available as 21 day free trials.

I've found Total Video Converter to be pretty good and cheap.

I followed the links on the "how to convert dvd to ipod" and downloaded DVD Decrypter and Videora ipod converter. Its all pretty easy and works a treat.

I tried a couple of trial software applications and they were definately simpler to use - generally one click and away you go - really good. The trial sites only allow you to convert a short length of movie or they are embossed with "trial mode" or similar and so you really need to purchase them for around £30 - £40.

I will happily put up with just a little bit of mucking around and use the two free downloads above (its really pretty simple, just a bit more time consuming).

Excellent.......thanks!!

1.It supports all kinds of videos to mobile.
2.Compatibility and Eficiency for Importing.
3.Convert various videos to MPEG videos compatible
4.Burn the converted videos to DVD etc.
